Drunk Driver Tries to Outrun Police

An intoxicated Whitefish Bay man was slapped with seven municipal citations after he allegedly sped through a red light, ran away from the cops and threw a tantrum at the police station.

At about 5 p.m. on April 21, a Whitefish Bay officer parked outside Whitefish Bay Middle School saw the man's car blow past him at about 50 mph, going right through the stop sign at Kimbark Place and then through a red light at Marlborough Drive and Henry Clay Drive. Both cars and pedestrians were present at the intersection, according to a police report.

The officer quickly pursued the car in his squad, following it to the parking lot of an apartment building in the 800 block of Henry Clay Street. When the officer yelled at the driver to stop, the driver took off running and tried to jump over a fence. The cop held him at Taser point and ordered him to the ground.

The driver's eyes were bloodshot, his words were jumbled and he kept telling officers that he was not the driver of the vehicle. Once he was arrested and placed in the squad, he repeatedly kicked at the doors and windows of the squad.

Police found an open bottle of Seagram's gin between the front seats of the man's vehicle. He refused to submit to field sobriety tests or a blood alcohol tests. 

While in the police interview room, he urinated all over himself and the floor, and then rolled around in the urine. He also spit on the floor of the interview room, yelled at officers and kicked at the walls. He even took water from the sink and spit it at a control switch for the cell camera.

The man was cited for open intoxicants, resisting an officer, operating while intoxicated, disorderly conduct, imprudent speed, failing to stop at a stop sign and failing to stop at a red light.
